NOAA data providers are required, per the NOAA Data Documentation Procedural Directive, to document their datasets, models, observations and other earth science resources
with ISO 19115:2005 and ISO 19115-2:2009 standards and represent them as ISO 19139
compliant XML. However, there are many different ways to implement the standards and
very little content is required to create a valid metadata record. Therefore, in addition
to
ISO compliance, this Completeness Rubric provides an extra level of assessment
to help metadata authors provide more thorough information about their data. For more
information about the Completeness Rubric, and how it works, users can refer to the
Completeness Rubric Information wiki page.

The content within these Categories are the result of many conversations within the
NOAA Metadata Working Group, which regularly updates and documents its decisions within
the ISO Explorer on NOAA?s Environmental Data Management Wiki. The NOAA Metadata Working Group documents
all of our most recent and up-to-date recommended practices discussed by this community
in this wiki and all within NOAA are
welcome to contribute use cases and examples.

This report is produced using this XSL. You may process your metadata in your own local environment or use the Enterprise
Metadata Management Architecture (EMMA) Record Services GUI.

Access Category

4/4 +3

The Access Category provides information about how to obtain the data, including
formats, access points, distribution contacts and disclaimer statements. Not required
when Resource Hierarchy Level='fieldSession' or Status = 'planned'.

Coverage Category

2/2 +2

The Coverage Categrory provides information about regarding the extent of the resource,
such as temporal range of content, geographic bounds of content, and general place
names. This information can be displayed on maps and timelines and used in spatial
searches. The Spatial Extent is not required when the Resource Hierarchy Level= 'nonGeographicDataset'.

Content Category

0/3 + 0

The Content Category identifies the parameters, variables or features of the resource
and can be documented with at least one of the two subcategories: Attributes or Features.
Not Required when Resource Hierarchy Level = 'fieldSession'.

History Category

4/4 + 6

The History Category provides information about how the resource was collected, processed
or other steps associated with the resource, such as archival activity. The Acquisition
subcategory is recommended for raw or near-raw observations, for example Level 0 satellite
data. Lineage subcategory is recommended for resources that have been processed. If
unable to provide acquisition or lineage, then provide a general statement. At least
Acquisition, Lineage or Statement is
required. You get extra credit if more than one subcategory is documented.
